My interview with my father Gary Greenfield ("Why Water, Sunlight, Grounding & Relationships Are The Keys To Your Health & How To Feed, Clean & Protect Your Body Forever: An Interview With Ben Greenfield’s Father Gary Greenfield") was such a hit that today I am bringing to you the official interview in which I put my own mother, Pat Greenfield, in the hotseat.
Get ready for a wild ride and amazing conversation with my mom, in which we discuss my own upbringing, diets and health food, coffee, her move to Idaho, trauma, homeschooling and much, much more!
